Shelter is open Monday - Friday between 8am and 8pm and on weekends between 8am and 5pm. If you get the engaged tone or you are are asked to call again, please do keep trying.

You should also contact your Local Authority (Your local "Council") as soon as you can, they will have an emergency telephone number which you can find in your telephone directory or by calling the normal telephone number and listening to any recorded information or by following the instructions.

You should ask for a call back from the Duty homelessness officer at your local Council who will be available outside of office hours. If you or somebody you know is vulnerable, please ask for a call back from the Emergency Duty Social Worker available outside of office hours.
